Stereo Bus Compressor Adding size, depth and impact to a stereo signal has never been easier. The Venos stereo bus compressor is based on the same design as many legendary vintage tube compressors. Venos expands this impressive sonic signature with two revolutionary hyper-compression modes, opening up new dimensions of sound. With SPL 120V technology this sound is crowned to king of dynamics. The Venos stereo bus compressor is basically a variable bias tube compressor. Venos works on the principle of a bias-controlled remote cutoff tube, but expands the sonic versatility of this concept with the new hyper-compression modes “Focus” and “Punch”. Once the ideal input level is dialed in, comparing different parameter settings works like a charm. The parameters have been fine-tuned in countless listening sessions to make the compressor intuitive to use. All parameters are set using switches or detented potentiometers. A single control element manages both, the left and right channel, allowing for easy recall! The input level is adjusted via a detented potentiometer in 41 steps, within a control range of +/- 10 dB. Increasing the input level results in more intense compression. Threshold determines the level beyond which the compressor starts with processing. The compressor begins to compress the signal once the set threshold value has been exceeded. The Threshold parameter of the Venos can be adjusted in 41 steps with the detent potentiometer.
